In this episode, we're getting real about money trauma, why I need everything in pie charts (spreadsheets make me want to vomit), and the four money games you're actually playing in business. We talk about taking responsibility, why women need to stop outsourcing their financial power, and how I finally sorted my money shit by treating it like my health. Because you've got to be the CFO of your own life, whether you like it or not.

What do you want? Not what you're told to want. What does your soul actually want? We dive into why so many people have no fucking clue what they want in business. From Victoria Beckham wanting to be more famous than Persil Automatic to why bronze medalists are happier than silver, we're talking about authentic success, the four-step process to getting what you want (spoiler: manifestation without action is just daydreaming), and building the wanting muscle through daily decisions. Because what you want wants you.

In this conversation, we dive into why productivity looks wildly different depending on your brain - from brandy on the top shelf to wild horses versus dressage ponies. If you've ever felt like productivity advice doesn't work for you, this one's for you. Because somewhere between chaos and discipline, you'll find your groove.

This episode is about the icky old sales topic. We're talking about why Mormons are amazing at sales, how to turn a no into a yes, why you need to sell yourself first before you can sell anyone else, and the difference between commission breath and real conviction. Featuring post-it note funnels, sticker charts for adults, and why "I'm not good at sales" is as bad as saying you're no good at parenting. If you've ever felt weird about your prices or avoided asking for the sale, this one's for you.

We're diving into belief versus doubt - the battle every business owner faces. Because you've got to believe you can change the world or solve this problem, right? That's what starts the spark. But we're idealistic, and I think we need to be. The minute someone sits on your idea early, it can kill it. So this conversation's about protecting that belief, finding your people, and working through the wobbly bits.
